I'm stocked up on Sidamos; but it's good to see that they are getting through again.

Interesting choice of name, but as Jim says great to see coffee coming out again. I've noticed that HasBean in the UK has the great Bonga wild bean back, too...... and Londinium has managed to get hold of wild beans from Bale plus a brilliant Sidamo...

The Bale Kara fromn three years ago was the best Yrg/Sidamo ever; If yours is anywhere close, buy as much as you can possibly use.

I just got 2 lbs and roasted some yesterday. It's exceptional for a Sidamo. Tom's description is right on and it makes a great espresso. The fruit isn't overpowering and it has a neat chocolate graham cracker finish. Outstanding.
